The Putin Whisperer: Trump Brags that ‘Putin Speaks to Me, He Doesn’t Speak to Anybody Else’

Posted by on June 16, 2025 at 2:34 pm. 1 Comments :

The steamy romance between Donald Trump and his favorite authoritarian dictator (besides himself), Vladimir Putin, has been a staple of the gossip rags for years. Trump is hopelessly infatuated with the Russian tyrant who can do no wrong in Trump’s eyes. Throughout his occupation of the White House, Trump has never uttered an unkind word about his hero and mentor.

Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin

No matter what is happening on the ground, Trump praises Putin and viciously maligns anyone who dares to oppose him. For instance, Trump heralds the savage invader Putin as a peacemaker, while castigating Ukrainian President Zelenskyy as a dictator who wants the war, that is slaughtering his people, to continue. But despite Trump’s slobbering fealty to Putin, the feeling is not mutual. Putin recently mocked Trump’s vanity birthday parade…

On Monday morning Trump arrived in Canada for a meeting of the G7 nations. Naturally, he established himself as the pariah of the group in an early press avail with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney. In the few minutes that they spoke to the press Trump managed to insult his hosts and lie profusely about why Russia wasn’t there…

“Putin speaks to me, he doesn’t speak to anybody else, because he was very insulted when he got thrown out of the G8. As you would be. As I would be. He was very insulted. He was thrown out by Trudeau, who convinced one or two people, along with Obama. He was thrown out and he’s not a happy person about it, I can tell you that. He doesn’t even speak to the people who threw him out. And I agree with him.”

TRUMP: "Putin speaks to me. He doesn't speak to anybody else."Trump is insulting his Canadian hosts while slobbering all over his BFF/boss, Vladimir Putin.

It’s rather chilling that Trump boasts of his alliance with Putin as if he were his public relations agent and the only path to communicating with him. But it’s typical that Trump shows concern for Putin’s hurt feelings. If Putin felt insulted by being ousted from the G7, maybe he shouldn’t have invaded a peaceful neighboring country.

What’s more, Trump is displaying either his dishonesty or his ignorance or his ignorant dishonesty, when he complains about former PM Justin Trudeau throwing Putin out of the G7. Because in 2014 when Russia was ousted from the group, the Conservative Party’s Stephen Harper was the Canadian PM. And Obama didn’t need to be convinced to cast Russia out. He was a leader of the initiative. Finally, it wasn’t “one or two people” who wanted Russia removed. It was a unanimous decision by all seven of the other member nations.

Then, after lying about Trudeau, Obama, and the G7, Trump repeated his frequent lie that “you wouldn’t have a war right now if you had Russia in. And you wouldn’t have a war right now if I were president four years ago.” He says that about virtually every international incident from Ukraine, to Gaza, to Iran, and more. Never mind that his own words contradict that egocentric nonsense…

Trump’s confession that Putin speaks through him obviates the need for Putin to be readmitted to the G7. Why bother if Trump is there to speak for him? And no one is more devoted to the interests of Putin and Russia than Trump himself. So before Putin goes back into the G7, he should go to The Hague and be tried for war crimes. And Trump can go along as his defense counsel – or co-defendant.

Russia Trolls Trump’s Birthday Parade, Turning it Into $45 Million of Anti-American Propaganda

Posted by on June 15, 2025 at 12:58 pm. 1 Comments :

The post-mortem on The military parade that Donald Trump staged to celebrate his 79th birthday did not turn out to be the sort of tribute that he hoped for. The attendance didn’t get anywhere near the 250,000 MAGA cult devotees that his press flacks predicted. Trump couldn’t even get very many of his congressional Republican sycophants to show up.

Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin

These poor results look even worse when compared to the estimated five million American patriots who came out in support of the “No Kings” demonstrations held in more than 2,000 cities to oppose Trump’s authoritarian aspirations. And if he thought that there would be a silent majority cheering for him on their sofas at home, he is going to be sorely disappointed by that as well.

SEE THIS: Trump Hypes His Puerile ‘Perade’ as TV Networks and the Weather Conspire to Depose His MAGA-STY

Sadly, Trump’s failure and broad-based unpopularity rubbed off on the proud soldiers who were compelled to participate in his charade …er… parade. It wasn’t their fault that Trump tried to feed his ego by forcing them to perform as pawns in his partisan political pageant. And it wasn’t their fault that he organized it so poorly. However, they unfairly suffered from the fallout of his ignorance and incompetence.

One particularly disturbing consequence of Trump’s antics was that his good buddy, Vladimir Putin, was able to take advantage of his folly to the detriment of the troops and America’s dignity. The Russian media quickly filled with images of Trump’s birthday bash in a decidedly negative light…

Russia is trolling Trump's vanity birthday parade. So he just spent $45 million to buy Vladimir Putin some anti-America propaganda material. #TrumpisaNationalDisgrace(Via bsky.app/profile/juli…: Captions say "How Trump imagined his parade / What he actually saw")

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-06-15T18:05:19.676Z

The American people can’t be thrilled that Trump sunk $45 million into material for Russia to embark on a propaganda campaign to mock America. And they did it with an emphasis on how pathetically Trump attempted to emulate the sort of military spectacle that Russia specializes in. While Trump has long craved to produce a similar affair, he didn’t bother to insure that he could pull it off.

The result is that Trump has embarrassed America in the eyes of the world. Not that Trump will ever see it that way. Because his only reviews of the event will come from his own toadies or those on Fox News. Speaking of which, the “Curvy Couch” potatoes of Fox and Friends are already on the job. Co-host Lawrence Jones interviewed Trump’s former Acting Secretary of Homeland Security, Chad Wolf, and asked him whether Trump “put fear in the hearts.” of America’s adversaries who watched this parade…

Jones: What does this say to our enemies as well? Because they’re watching. They’re always watching. Does it put fear in their hearts knowing that this is a president that is willing to rebuild the military, right?
Wolf: Yeah, no doubt. […] I think our adversaries around the world know President Trump means business.

Yeah, no doubt. Judging from the video above, that’s exactly how Russia sees things. They are quaking with fear due to the visage of the Mango Monarch and his exhibition of extraordinary manliness. We can now expect Putin to surrender and pull his troops out of Ukraine, and pressure his allies in Iran to submit to Israel. Any minute now.

Trump Celebrates a ‘Major WIN’ Against the Pulitzer Prize Board in a Blithering Outburst of Bile

Posted by on May 29, 2025 at 11:53 pm. NO Comments :

One thing that Donald Trump will never be accused of is having a rational sense of subtlety. To the contrary, he known for his hair-trigger hyperbole in all matters, constantly ratcheting everything up to ludicrous levels of extremism.

Click here to post this article on Twitter or Click here to post on Bluesky

Donald Trump

Case in point is Trump’s response to the news of a recent court ruling on a motion in his lawsuit against the Pulitzer Prize board. Trump sued the board in an bizarre attempt to get them to rescind the Pulitzer Prizes awarded to the Washington Post and the New York Times for their coverage of the unsavory connections between Trump’s election campaign and a variety of Russian operatives.

SEE THIS: Trump Sues the Pulitzer Prize Board for Honoring Accurate Stories of His Russian Collusion

On Wednesday night Trump posted a comment on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, that was a rambling flurry of abusive adjectives and lies in which he claimed that a minor court ruling is a “major WIN” that will force the recipients of a Pulitzer Prize to return it. Trump raged that…

“In a major WIN in our powerful lawsuit against the Pulitzer Prize Board regarding the illegal and defamatory ‘Award’ of their once highly respected ‘Prize,’ to fake, malicious stories on the Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax, by the Failing New York Times and the Washington Compost, the Florida Appellate Court viciously rejected the Defendants’ corrupt attempt to halt the case.”

Needless to say, there was no “major WIN” in Trump’s lawsuit. The Pulitzer’s award was neither “illegal” nor “defamatory.” The stories that received the award were neither “fake” nor “malicious.” And nothing in the appellate court’s ruling was “vicious.” These were just more examples of Trump’s rank dishonesty and rancid hyperbole. But he was just getting started. He continued…

“They won a Pulitzer Prize for totally incorrect reporting about the Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax. Now they admit it was a SCAM, never happened, and their reporting was totally wrong, in fact, the exact opposite of the TRUTH. They’ll have to give back their ‘Award.’ They were awarded for false reporting, and we can’t let that happen in the United States of America. We are holding the Fake News Media responsible for their LIES to the American People”

Once again, the Pulitzer board was totally within their rights to grant awards as they see fit. They even conducted an independent review to affirm their original decision that concluded that “no passages or headlines, contentions or assertions in any of the winning submissions were discredited by facts that emerged subsequent to the conferral of the prizes.”. Trump’s claim that they now “admit it was a SCAM” is wholly delusional on Trump’s part. And his suggestion that the award would have to be returned is preposterous.

What Trump is calling a “a major WIN” is nothing more than a ruling against a motion by the Pulitzer board to temporarily pause proceedings in the case until Trump’s current term in office is complete, citing potential complications from a Supreme Court ruling that allows presidents temporary immunity for official acts during their term in office.

However, the Fourth District Court of Appeal in Florida ruled that “such privileges are afforded to the President alone, not to his litigation adversaries.” In other words, the Pulitzer board cannot assert a privilege granted to the president. So, because Trump isn’t moving for the delay, the case will go forward. Which Trump may live to regret.

Contrary to his bombastic bellowing, Trump hasn’t won anything. There was no finding on the merits of the lawsuit. The facts of the case still favor the Pulitzer board. And Trump’s obsession with suing everyone that hurts his tender fee fees is the only thing about this that was predictable.

Although his record is somewhat less than stellar. According to Democracy Docket, “The Trump administration has lost a shocking 96% of rulings in federal district courts so far this month.” And the results of this case are unlikely to improve that record.

Trump Admits that He Has Been Protecting Vladimir Putin and Russia From ‘Really Bad Things’

Posted by on May 27, 2025 at 11:53 am. 1 Comments :

The evidence that Donald Trump has been perhaps the best investment that Vladimir Putin ever made is difficult to dismiss. Throughout his political life, Trump has frequently lambasted America’s allies, while he has conspicuously declined to criticize Putin or condemn his abhorrent activities, including war crimes in Ukraine and elsewhere.

Click here to post this article on Twitter or Click here to post on Bluesky

Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin

Until recently. This week Trump has diverted from his notoriously pro-Putin stance to offer some mild rebukes following Putin’s failure to heed Trump’s impotent demand that he stop bombing civilians in Ukraine. Instead, Putin escalated his attacks, proving how little respect for, or fear of, Trump Putin has. Never mind Trump’s promise to end the war in 24 hours with a single phone call before he was even inaugurated. Or his claims that the war would never have happened if Trump were in office at the time Putin invaded. Which Trump doesn’t even believe…

SEE THIS: Trump Destroys His Own Claim that Russia Wouldn’t Have Invaded Ukraine if He Were President

On Tuesday morning Trump posted a comment on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, wherein he made an unexpected confession. He wrote that…

“What Vladimir Putin doesn’t realize is that if it weren’t for me, lots of really bad things would have already happened to Russia, and I mean REALLY BAD. He’s playing with fire!”

And there you have it. Trump is admitting that he has been been protecting Putin and Russia from some unspecified “really bad things.” So while Putin was massacring innocent Ukrainian civilians, destroying the nation’s infrastructure, and insisting that it doesn’t have any right to exist, Trump was shielding Russia from any harm that might have come its way.

That’s been noticeably true as Trump halted America’s military and intelligence support for Ukraine. He also refused to impose any new sanctions on Russia, or to seize the billions of dollars of frozen Russian assets in U.S. control. And Trump has been Russia’s strongest advocate to reenter the world community in organizations such as the G7.

This latest missive by Trump follows his complaint that Putin “has gone absolutely CRAZY.” Is Trump pretending to be surprised by this transformation in his Russian BFF? If not, and he truly believes it, that’s even worse. In another Truth Social post Trump yammered that…

“I’ve always had a very good relationship with Vladimir Putin of Russia, but something has happened to him. He has gone absolutely CRAZY! He is needlessly killing a lot of people.”

Trump says that Putin "has gone absolutely CRAZY."But Putin is doing exactly what he's done since he invaded Ukraine 3 years ago. And Trump, who said he would end the war in 24 hours, is responsible for prolonging it by halting the support America was giving to Ukraine.

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-05-26T08:02:15.663Z

However, Putin hasn’t changed one bit. His brutal slaughter of Ukrainians has been going on for three years. But Trump saw fit to abandon and betray our ally by cutting off aid. The only person with more Ukrainian blood on his hands than Putin is Trump. And yet, Trump is still deferential to Putin, while he attacks and insults President Zelenskyy as a “dictator” who doesn’t really want the war to end.

If Trump were genuinely interested in ending what he has called “a bloodbath” (he isn’t), Trump could simply restore military support for Ukraine and slap more sanctions on Russia. But neither Ukraine, nor concerned Americans, should hold their breath waiting for Trump to do something decent and humane. As the old saying goes, you can’t squeeze decency from a malignant narcissist.

Trump’s Press Secretary Takes Questions From a Russian Funded MAGA Podcaster in the WH Press Room

Posted by on April 22, 2025 at 1:48 pm. NO Comments :

From the very first day that Donald Trump entered politics, he has been an avid opponent of the free press and the Constitution’s First Amendment. He frequently refers to the media in Stalinist terms as “the enemy of the people.” And whenever he is confronted by a reporter whose inquiries are less than worshipful, Trump responds by insulting the reporter and dodging the question.

Click here to post this article on Twitter or Click here to post on Bluesky

Donald Trump Vladimir Putin

So naturally Trump’s White House press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, devotedly reflects Trump’s heinous animosity toward the press. In the few short weeks since he began his second occupation of the White House, Leavitt has reshaped the press room into a propaganda factory whose purpose is to advance the lies of Dear Leader, rather than to inform the American people.

SEE THIS: Trump’s Press Secretary Pledges to Plant Pro-Trump Crackpots in the White House Press Room

On Tuesday Leavitt opened her press briefing session by recognizing a notoriously repugnant character who would be more at home in the Kremlin’s press briefing room than this one in the White House. Tim Pool is an ultra-conservative MAGA proselytizer whos dispenses some of the most bizarre conspiracy theories and hate mongering that the right-wing has produced. But in the Trump White House he has a seat in the press briefing room and gets the first question. Which went like this…

“Many of these organizations that are represented in this room have marched in lockstep on false narratives, such as the ‘very fine people’ hoax, the ‘Covington smear,’ and now what’s being called the ‘Maryland man’ hoax. Where an MS-13 gang member, adjudicated by 2 different judges I believe, is just simply being referred to as a “Maryland man” over and over again.

Now, in an effort from the White House to expand access to new companies, you’ve created this New Media Seat. So I’m wondering if you can comment on – following this expansion, you’ve had numerous outlets disparage the companies that you’ve had sit here, as well as the reporters, I’m wonder if you can comment on that unprofessional behavior, as well as elaborate on if there’s any plans to expand access to new companies.

To summarize, Pool is asking Leavitt why credible journalists are being so darn mean to the bullshit spewers, like Pool, that she has installed in order to prevent any real questions from being asked by professional reporters. And he prefaced his ludicrous question with a stream of crackpot complaints about accurate reporting that he called hoaxes. To this Leavitt replied…

“Sure. Well, we certainly welcome diverse viewpoints in this room. Which is one of the reasons we have you in here. And there’s many new faces in this room in comparison to the previous administration. We wanna welcome all these points into this room. We welcome unbiased journalists who really care about the truth and the facts and accuracy. And you rightfully pointed out the ‘Maryland man’ story.”

First question of the briefing comes from Tim Pool

— Acyn (@acyn.bsky.social) 2025-04-22T17:44:09.898Z

REALLY? So Leavitt regards Pool as an “unbiased journalist” who she welcomes into the room because he “cares about the truth and the facts and accuracy?” This would be a good time to take a look at Pool’s record of “diverse viewpoints.” For instance, it was recently revealed that he was the recipient of hundreds of thousands of dollars from Russian state media to produce anti-American propaganda…

“Podcaster Tim Pool was one of six conservative influencers featured by Tenet Media, a Tennessee-based company that was secretly funded by Russian state media employees, according to a criminal indictment filed in September.

“The indictment charged two Russian media executives with allegedly funneling $10 million to Tenet, whose personalities were paid to ‘amplify domestic divisions in the United States’ by parroting Kremlin talking points on immigration, inflation and foreign policy, according to the Department of Justice. […] Pool earned $100,000 per episode for a weekly show he hosted.”

That’s the caliber of “unbiased journalist” that Leavitt has been introducing into the White House press room. While simultaneously she has been banishing respected media organizations like the Associated Press. And the result has been a plethora of preposterous questions from the MAGA goon squad.

Pool is certainly earning his pay by posing questions that are mostly rabidly biased statements, and pushing the propaganda that is mandated by both Trump and his BFF, Vladimir Putin. Would anyone be surprised if Putin was still paying Pool, and Leavitt as well? Or are they serving their Russian master for free, just because they share the same mission to bring down American democracy?

Trump Destroys His Own Claim that Russia Wouldn’t Have Invaded Ukraine if He Were President

Posted by on April 11, 2025 at 12:49 pm. NO Comments :

In the seven short weeks that Donald Trump has resumed his occupation of the White House (yeah, it does seem like seven years), there have innumerable atrocities and abhorrent assaults on the American people and the Constitution.

Click here to post this article on Twitter or Click here to post on Bluesky

Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin

From day one Trump embarked on a malevolent mission to undermine democracy, persecute his political foes, and reshape the republic into an autocratic oligarchy that elevates the wealthy at the expense of average citizens. And at the top of Trump’s list of priorities was to enshrine himself as the Messiah of America who all must worship and obey.

SEE THIS: Trump Cult Priestess, Karoline Leavitt, Preaches to ‘Trust in Trump’ to Bring Economic Salvation

The daily disgorging of chaos emanating from the Trump White House often has the effect of burying one calamity or another as Trump introduces something new to deflect from whatever horror has deluged the news cycle for the moment. And in recent days that is particularly true about the war in Ukraine that seems to have disappeared from the media spotlight lately.

Well, now that Trump and his tariffs have caused an economic meltdown that is likely to result in a recession, he is dredging up the Ukraine war, but only to exploit it in an effort to take the heat off of his latest presidential blunder. Trump posted a comment on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, that declared that…

“Russia has to get moving. Too many people ere DYING, thousands a week, in a terrible and senseless war – A war that should have never happened, and wouldn’t have happened, if I were President!!!”

This might be a good time to remind everyone that, during the 2024 campaign, Trump swore that if he were elected he would forge a peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine in 24 hours with a single phone call before he was even inaugurated. He’s been in office now for two and half months and has achieved less than nothing as Russia has actually escalated their bombing of civilians in Ukraine.

Trump has meekly complained about this previously a couple of times, begging Russia to come to the table. Zelenskyy has already promised to do so. But Trump’s buddy and idol, Vladimir Putin is ignoring him and probably laughing at him. Which makes Trump’s frequent claim that this war would never have started in the first place if he had been president at the time seem pitifully impotent.

Trump’s claim that his presence alone would have prevented Russia from invading Ukraine implies that Putin would be either too afraid of Trump to take such aggressive action, or that Putin so admired Trump that his influence would be irresistible. But it’s clear now that neither of those scenarios have an iota of truth to them. If Putin won’t listen to Trump now when he’s telling him to seek a peaceful resolution, it’s safe to assume that he wouldn’t have listened when he was first plotting to invade.

Therefore, Trump is what professional political analysts call “full of shit!” And consequently, so is his press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, who told reporters on Friday that…

“The president has been quite clear that he has been continually frustrated with both sides of this conflict and he wants to see this fighting end. He wants the war to end. We believe we have leverage in negotiating a deal, a peace deal. And we’re going to use that leverage. And the president is determined to see this through.”

Leavitt on Russia's war on Ukraine: "The president has been quite clear that he has been continually frustrated with both sides of this conflict."

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2025-04-11T17:26:11.331Z

See? Trump wants the war to end. Zelenskyy wants the war to end. Only Putin, who could end the war unilaterally in seconds, is stubbornly insisting that the war continue. And this is further evidence that, despite Leavitt’s remarks, Trump has no leverage whatsoever.

But then, Leavitt’s perspective of the world is light years away from reality. When addressing Trump’s visit to Walter Reed Medical Center for his annual physical, Leavitt responded to a preposterous question (by a “reporter” with pillow guy Mike Lindell’s network) that began by stating that “Trump looks healthier than ever before,” with an equally preposterous answer…

Trump "looks healthier than ever before"??? He looks like orange painted roadkill.Now that the Trump regime has packed the White House press pool with MAGA sycophants, and banished credible journalists, this is the kind of moronic, worshipful questions we can expect from now on.

Crybaby Trump Demands a Televised Public Apology From Zelenskyy to Satisfy His Hurt Fee Fees

Posted by on March 3, 2025 at 1:08 pm. 2 Comments :

Last Friday Donald Trump hosted Ukrainian President Zelenskyy at the White House for what was billed as a meeting to affirm U.S. support for Ukraine’s battle against Russia’s imperialistic aggression. The meeting was also supposed to include the signing of an agreement for the U.S. to share in revenue from Ukraine’s rich mineral deposits.

Click here to post this article on Twitter or Click here to post on Bluesky

Donald Trump, Wah

In other words, it was an attempt by Trump to extort profits from Ukraine’s natural resources in exchange for protection from Trump’s pal Vladimir Putin, who would also benefit from the mineral rights agreement. This is how the Mafia operates, by making threats to coerce innocent parties to hand over their wealth or suffer the consequences of not submitting. It’s a tactic that Trump learned from his friends in organized crime.

SEE THIS: Was Trump’s Ambush of Zelenskyy Preplanned, Including Stacking the Press Pool with Kremlin Hacks?

Unfortunately, Trump purposely drove the meeting into a ditch by throwing another of his hallmark tantrums and berating Zelenskyy for not being nice enough to Putin (who invaded his country and was still massacring his people), or grateful enough to Trump (who is always only interested in what he can get for himself). Consequently, the mineral rights deal was not signed, and Trump backed out of continuing support for Ukraine’s defense.

On Monday morning Trump’s team laid out their terms for restarting negotiations with Zelenskyy. In a response to Fox News White House correspondent, Peter Doocy, Trump demanded that Zelenskyy apologize to Trump. For what? For having the patience and grace to sit through the infantile harangues of Trump and JD Vance without shouting back with the same ferocity, despite how much it was deserved? Or for calmly maintaining his composure even though the fate of his nation and people was being threatened by a petulant whiner? Here is how Doocy described the statement from the Trump camp…

“I have been told by a senior official here that nothing is gonna happen with this minerals deal until Zelenskyy goes in front of cameras and makes an explicit public apology for the way that he behaved himself – behaved in the Oval Office with that meeting.”

If it's true that Trump won't deal with Zelenskyy until he gets a "public apology," it only confirms that he's a sniveling whiner with the emotional maturity of 2 year old. And that he couldn't care less about the human cost.And of course it proves that #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-03-03T17:46:10.134Z

So the Trump regime’s position is that a war started by Trump’s idol and role model, Putin, would continue unless Zelenskyy kissed Trump’s…let’s say ring. And Trump is insisting that the smooching be televised in a melodramatic reality TV style moment. Because that’s how simplistically narcissists like Trump view the world.

Furthermore, Trump has pre-announced the terms of any agreement between Ukraine and Russia, which would require Ukraine to concede its land and sovereignty, including the right to join NATO. As for Russia, Trump has not proposed that they make any concessions whatsoever. And this is the dealmaking prowess that Trump likes to brag about, where you give away everything before any negotiations have even begun?

Trump literally told Zelenskyy that he “doesn’t have any cards” to play. That’s not actually true, but more to the point, smart poker players generally don’t tell their opponents they have lousy hands. But Trump did so in front of international news media, including Russia’s state-owned media, TASS, that Trump’s staff later said was not approved to be there. But they still can’t explain how they got into the Oval Office in the first place. Can just anyone wander in without being noticed?

Where things stand now is that Trump is waiting for Zelenskyy to make a public apology. The best that he is likely to get is an expression of regret that the meeting didn’t go better. Which was entirely Trump’s fault. Because he is too cowardly and beholden to Putin to seek anything that is in the interests of Ukraine, or even America. And he posted that sentiment on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, Monday morning, saying that “We Should Spend Less Time Worrying About Putin.”

Is anyone surprised Trump wants to spend less time worrying about his idol & role model, Vladimir Putin, who is a brutal tyrant & war criminal?But instead he tries to instill fear of imaginary crime waves, that for some reason he associates with Europe. #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice

Fox News Says Trump’s Ugly Oval Office Attack on Zelenskyy Merits a Nobel Peace Prize

Posted by on March 1, 2025 at 12:09 pm. 3 Comments :

The faithful devotion that Donald Trump has for Russian dictator Vladimir Putin was revealed yet again in a spine-chilling display of submission and betrayal by an America “president” who has fully committed to selling out his country to satisfy his insatiable lust for power, wealth, and the adoration of a flock of gullible rubes.

Click here to post this article on Twitter or Click here to post on Bluesky

Donald Trump

On Friday Trump had a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in the Oval Office. It was billed as a routine diplomatic affair wherein the two leaders would sign an agreement for the U.S. to continue its support for Ukraine against the imperialist, genocidal aggression of Russia, in exchange for some of the abundant mineral rights held by Ukraine. Unfortunately, the meeting didn’t go as planned. Or did it?

SEE THIS: Was Trump’s Ambush of Zelenskyy Preplanned, Including Stacking the Press Pool with Kremlin Hacks?

The tantrum thrown by Trump was an embarrassment to him, his administration, and sadly, the international reputation of the United States. In a few short minutes Trump confirmed, on a world stage, his ignorance of world affairs, as well as his infantile belligerence, and his callous insensitivity to the suffering of our allies. The response from the world’s free democracies was unanimous: Trump was out of line and off his rocker!

There were, however, those who regarded Trump’s hysterics as admirable, and even as “a lot of male alpha energy coming from Trump.” That fangirl commentary came from a Fox News co-host of Fox and Friends, Rachel Campos-Duffy, who happens to be married to Trump’s Transportation Secretary and former Fox News hack, Sean Duffy. But what she went to say was even more ridiculous…

“I think we have to get back to the central point, I think the most important point, that Donald Trump made in this whole thing, ‘You are gambling with World War III.’

“This was about peace ultimately. There’s a lot of drama, and we can break down everybody’s feelings, but in the end, I think what’s remarkable is that we have a president who’s willing to do anything to bring about world peace. Man, if he doesn’t get the Nobel Peace Prize after this, that thing means nothing.

Fox News host this morning after the disastrous Oval Office meeting between Trump and President Zelensky:If Trump doesn't get the Nobel Peace Prize after this, that thing means nothing. ?

SERIOUSLY? A Nobel Peace Prize for deliberately sabotaging any rational plan for peace? For advocating surrender to the madman who started the war? For insulting the hero who has been standing steadfast against Putin’s aggression and has been defending liberty and democracy?

What Campos-Duffy believes is “peace” is giving up land and treasure to the enemy in hopes that such compliance will stop him from demanding anything more. Which is not the case with most bullies.

That’s also what Trump believes. And when she says that Trump is “willing to do anything to bring about world peace,” she’s right, in a way. He’s willing to sink to any low in order to appease a brutal thug. And after laying down for the tyrant, get an award for advancing peace?

Trump likewise regards himself as a peacemaker. And he is still envious of President Obama who did receive a Nobel Peace Prize. Immediately following his ambush of Zelenskyy, Trump told a gaggle of right-wing “reporters” that…

“He’s gotta say, ‘I want to make PEACE. He doesn’t have to stand there and say about Putin this, Putin that. All negative things…He doesn’t have the cards.”

Trump thinks that President Zelenskyy should be nicer to Putin, who invaded his country and is massacring his people.And he asserts that Zelenskyy "doesn't have the cards." That isn't negotiating from strength. That's surrender.

Trump seems to think that Zelenskyy doesn’t want peace. Because if he did want it, he would be saying nice, positive things about Putin. What’s more, Trump repeated his defeatist assertion that Zelenskyy “doesn’t have the cards.” So the alleged author of “The Art of Deal” thinks that telling the other players that you have a lousy hand is an effective negotiating tactic. Particularly when that isn’t even true. Just fold and give your opponent the whole pot.

Lest anyone come away with the impression that Trump’s only allies are the Trump-fluffers on fox News, we need to appreciate that he is not alone. He also has support from some of the nastiest totalitarians on the planet, which is a club he is anxious to join. For instance…

Russian politico, Dmitry Medvedev, gives #PutinsPoodle, Trump, praise for his "slap down" of Zelenskyy. Like a dog getting a treat for doing a trick.Hungary's dictator, Orbán, also came out in support of Trump's tantrum against Zelenskyy, but inadvertently notes that Putin is weak for making war.

Was Trump’s Ambush of Zelenskyy Preplanned, Including Stacking the Press Pool with Kremlin Hacks?

Posted by on February 28, 2025 at 3:31 pm. 3 Comments :

The first month of Donald Trump’s reoccupation of the White House has been the sort of colossal calamity that many people predicted and warned about. But even with the expectation that he would preside over an unprecedented betrayal of American values, Trump manages to exceed even the worst forecasts by the most pessimistic observers.

Donald Trump Angry

To prove his prowess at screwing up the affairs of state, Trump met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Friday, ostensibly to finalize an agreement to provide continued military assistance to Ukraine, in exchange for a ransom of Ukrainian minerals to satisfy Trump’s transactional greed. The meeting, however, did not go as planned. Or did it?

It did not take long for Trump to transform the diplomatic discussion into a verbal venting wherein Trump, lashed out with uncontrolled vitriol at Zelenskyy. Trump even veered off on a “Russia, Russia, Russia” rant, whining about his impeachment and prior conflicts with Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton. Both Trump and his vice-president unleashed ugly attacks that had little to nothing to do with the purpose of the meeting. [The full video of the exchange is here, if you have the stomach for it]

Trump engaged in ego-driven blather, complaining that “You gotta be more thankful. Because, lemme tell you, you don’t have the cards.” He is typically focused on forcing people to pay undeserved homage to him. Vance joined in with a rather telling admission, saying that “I think it’s disrespectful for you to come into the oval office and try to litigate this in front of the American media.”

That’s right. According to Vance, Zelenskyy is somehow at fault for Trump blowing up at him in front of the media that Trump invited. A suspicious cynic might surmise that Trump planned this Oval Office putsch in order to derail the $500 billion mineral deal that Trump might have recently learned was not as advantageous for Trump, and his client Russia, as he thought. As NBC News reported…

“According to a 2023 study by Forbes Ukraine, the country’s rare earth and other critical minerals could be worth as much as $14.8 trillion.” […and that…] “There are no current rare earth projects underway in Ukraine and experts say it will take years to get projects off the ground, possibly up to a decade.”

So Trump needed a a reason to ditch the deal. Preferably with witnesses. Which makes this a good time to point out the specific representatives of the press that Trump invited to this meeting. As media watchers know, the Trump regime has recently been making changes to the way they interact with the press. They have outright banned some outlets from covering the president, and have ended the century-long practice of having the independent White House Correspondents Association assign journalists to cover Trump and Company.

Consequently, longstanding, credible journalists from the Associated Press and Reuters were not allowed to cover the Zelenskyy meeting. However, extremist right-wing outlets were on the White House’s approved list. But that isn’t all. Russia’s own state news agency, TASS, somehow got into the room. At least until someone noticed…

Are we supposed to believe that the correspondent from TASS was just in the neighborhood and secretly slipped in behind the reporter from Newsmax? This meeting was not in the White House Press Briefing Room. It was the Oval Office. Can just anyone get in there without being credentialed or noticed? Or did Trump arrange for the Kremlin’s flack to snag a pass, and then deny any involvement when it became known? Will anyone else in the press ask that question?

Among the reporters who were approved was Brian Glenn of of the Trump-fluffing MAGA webnet, Real America’s Voice. He may be better known as Marjorie Taylor Greene’s boyfriend. He managed to get a question in about why Zelenskyy wasn’t wearing a suit. Funny… Glenn never asked Elon Musk why he attends Oval Office meetings in a t-shirt and baseball cap.

Russian TV Host: What Trump Says is ‘So Correct…In Total Alignment With the Way We See Things’

Posted by on February 23, 2025 at 1:02 pm. 1 Comments :

Anyone who has been paying attention for the past several years is well aware that Donald Trump has an alarming affection for Russian president, Vladimir Putin, that is at best a slobbering infatuation, and at worst downright treasonous. He clearly idolizes Putin and envies his totalitarian control over Russia.

Donald Trump Vladimir Putin

Trump’s festering fondness for Putin has not gone unnoticed by Russian officials, operatives, and media. They have frequently expressed their agreement with Trump’s positions on foreign affairs, particularly those regarding Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and Trump’s advocacy of Russian demands for concessions of territory by Ukraine and barring their membership in NATO. Russian media has even effusively praised Trump’s choices for his Cabinet.

Another example of Trump’s obeisance to Putin, and Russia’s appreciation for it, came recently in the remarks of a Russian television host, Vladimir Solovlov, commenting about Trump’s public support for Russian interests in contradiction to long held American policies. Soloslov said that…

“The phrases he’s saying are so deep and so correct, they are in total alignment with the way we see things.”

Well, that’s comforting, isn’t it? At least to Putin it is. And Soloslov could not be more accurate in his assessment. What follows are a few instances of Trump flunkies taking Russia’s side on matters that oppose U.S. interests…

Donald Trump himself, who is a big coward who will never say a bad word about Putin.

No wonder the Russians are so thrilled with Trump. They couldn’t have a more devoted spokesman. Nor one with greater ability to advance Russian interests and sabotage those of the U.S. Yet somehow the MAGA cultists who support him remain loyal despite the obvious betrayal of America by Trump and his Klan.

And the Republicans in Congress are even worse. They know better, but are so scared and squishy that they set aside any sense of patriotism in favor of Dear Leader’s dictates. At some point this will come crashing down around them and their treason will be forever etched into history. In the meantime, the rest of us need to stay vigilant and not let their campaign to discourage us succeed.

UPDATE: The U.S. voted against a United Nations resolution condemning Russia for invading Ukraine. The U.S. joined Russia and North Korea in that vote. Which tells you whose side Trump is really on.
